Our captain poll has launched for Gameweek 2 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

You can cast your vote via the embedded poll below or on the widget of our home page.

Fresh from a 17-point haul against Norwich City and with a home game against Burnley to look forward to, Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) is unsurprisingly the early front-runner for armband duties among our voters.

Only two current Premier League sides have kept fewer clean sheets than the Clarets this calendar year.

There is equally predictable support for Bruno Fernandes (£12.1m) after his hat-trick against Leeds United and ahead of Manchester United’s trip to a Southampton team who have conceded more Premier League goals than any other club in 2021 – nine of which arrived when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side last met the Saints in February.

Elsewhere, there is the small matter of Manchester City’s home clash with newly promoted Norwich City; the uncertainty over who Pep Guardiola will select in his starting XI is perhaps the reason why Kevin De Bruyne (£12.0m) and co don’t feature more prominently in the embryonic results of our vote.

Son Heung-min (£10.0m) and Tottenham Hotspur are away at Wolverhampton Wanderers, while Danny Ings (£8.0m) and Callum Wilson (£7.5m) will be licking their lips at opposing defences who conceded a combined seven goals in Gameweek 1.


Our captain poll will be followed by Tom and Joe’s Tuesday video which discusses the runners and riders for armband duties in more detail, while Captain Sensible will be published on Friday.

    The average for GW1 is 69 🙂

      A win for society

      We'll be back to normality next week

      Noice

      1. Zimo
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Indeed 🙂

    4. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Next week average, 40.

    5. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Wow that is crazy low

    6. RedLightning
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      That's lower than the LMS safety score of 71!

      1. 3 A
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Because LMS is for top professional managers like us.

    7. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      I scored 96 😛

  2. Lord of Ings
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Who would you start among:-
    A)coufal
    B) ayling

    1. WHUFCSmith23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Not sure I would want to play a Leeds defender any time soon.

    2. Limbo
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Coufal.

    3. Tcheco
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Coufal

  3. Dru
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Coufal

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      A

  4. Dru
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Is Mount to Mahrez worth it for GW2, City vs Norwich?

    1. No Professionals
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      if i didn't have city i would leave alone personally.

    2. WHUFCSmith23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      What's your plan with Mahrez after?

      If you are bringing him in to then ship him out immediately you are wasting 2 valuable transfers. What's the gain? You will be hoping he scores a hat trick. He might but most likely won't.

      Plus Mount vs Arsenal is a nice fixture too especially now he can aim the ball towards Lukaku instead of Werner. We all saw what Toney did to those Arsenal centre backs imagine the effect Lukaku will have.

    3. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Mahrez didn't really have a decent game yesterday, I'm not sure he starts.

      The better gambles might be Grealish or Torres

      1. FPL Joker
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        I’m considering Torres

      2. Amartey Partey
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Torres was just as bad as Mahrez. Won’t Jesus start?

  5. Dru
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 20 days ago

    I'm hoping they have to make a statement against Norwich but no one knows with Pep...

    1. FPL Joker
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Which is why I say ‘no’ to City players.

  6. FPL Joker
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Well, I can’t get Fermandes now he’s gone up in price. Looks like I’m stuck with Sancho. Hopefully he delivers next week. May Captain him as a differential.

    1. Limbo
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      No Salah either?

      1. FPL Joker
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Yeah, got him.

        1. Limbo
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 20 days ago

          Not the week to risk Sancho (c) punt IMO. Having him is differential enough. Salah's XG is too good.

          1. FPL Joker
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 20 days ago

            True.

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Well I guess you got Sancho for week 2 onwards as everyone knew he wouldn’t start.

    3. Tcheco
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      It’s ok just go with Salah(C)

      Sancho should start firing soon

  7. A19
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Early thoughts on Gundo replacement (if confirmed injured)?

    A) Greenwood (really like for this GW but not nailed)
    B) Mount (Tough fixtures in the short term but is nailed and tick along nicely, more set and forget for the medium term)
    C) Benrahma (already have Antonion, not sure about doubling up on WH)
    D) Dele (punt)

    1. Del Griffith
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Pogba?

      1. A19
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Already priced out, as he's 7.6 now. And I'm not convinced he will keep this form... Thanks!

    2. liiusions
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      A/C. Probably A.

      If he keeps up form can’t see him getting dropped. Possibly shifted out wide but still good value for 7.5

      1. A19
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Cheers!

    3. FPL Joker
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      C. Double WH was no problem in GW1

      1. Salarrivederci
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Leicester is a harder fixture though

        1. FPL Joker
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 20 days ago

          Long term

          1. Salarrivederci
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 20 days ago

            Looks good for Palace and Southampton, but I’m just not getting him in for that Leicester match. Would rather save my FT and play someone else

      2. A19
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Yeah like Salarrivederci said, it's more the Leicester fixture that puts me off doubling up for GW2.

        1. Salarrivederci
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 20 days ago

          City nor Wolves scored against Amartey and co.
          Would not expect too much from Antonio and Benrahma combined. Maybe I’m wrong, but I’ll save my FT. If I had Gundo I would probably probably consider how he could get me Lukaku or Son after next GW

          1. A19
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 20 days ago

            Yes, I'm trying to find a way to fit in Son. Thanks!

        2. Gross Blank Point
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 20 days ago

          Leicester allowed Wolves to have 17 shots on Saturday, I'd expect WH to get similar, but be far more clinical

    4. THE Wild Rover
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Sarr. £1.5m for a rainy day too.

      1. A19
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Yep forgot to mention him. Cheers! Sarr and Benhrama are interesting with these 1.5itb indeed!

        1. THE Wild Rover
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 20 days ago

          Benny won’t be nailed if they buy Lingard

    5. jackx13
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Is Gundo definitely out?

      1. A19
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Not yet. Was just thinking about potential replacements

        1. jackx13
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 20 days ago

          Ok, gotcha, thanks.
          +1 for Sarr from me in that case. I am also monitoring Willock in the same price bracket. 🙂 Norgaard if you're looking to save even more cash.

          1. A19
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 20 days ago

            Thanks!

    6. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      If you dont have Benrahma, has to be him imo. I already have him so Im considering A or Raphinha

      1. A19
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Thanks!

    7. I Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      A

    8. Amartey Partey
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Greenwood will start GW2

  8. Dru
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 20 days ago

    My plan is the Mount slot to be my variable position to Mahrez for 2 weeks and then back to Mount against Villa.

    1. Zimo
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      I'd keep Mount against that Arsenal backline

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Yeah at this stage I'd nearly be targeting Arsenal, especially if the rumours of Aubameyang and Lacazette not being ill and it being something else are true. They're a mess right now

  9. smix
    • 10 Years

    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw Tsimikas
    Salah Bruno(c) Gundo* Barnes

        1. Zimo
          • 8 Years

    3. Limbo
      • 16 Years

        2. Limbo
          • 16 Years

          Benjamin Mee; Salah-buster extrordinaire.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years

          Wrong, he scored in 2017 (16.09). 1:1 draw

      He score 1 and assist two in 7 games.

      1. Zimo

          7

  13. Snidesalad
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Lukaku against Arsenal could be a shout

  14. MEGPAL
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Anyone here captaining Bruno this week?

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      That's the current plan.

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Probably nearly half the people will captain him.

    3. Amartey Partey
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Yes. I like points

    4. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Yeah. That Saints backline could implode at any time.

  15. bitm2007
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Anybody playing Sun Dreamteam ? I'm off to a good start (currently 799th) using the block D method. I've got 3.5m ITB but I can't see an obvious way of using it ATM. Save my 5 FT's then split up the Pool D before the Chelsea game the way to go ?

    Allison
    TAA, VVD, Tsimikas
    Bruno, Barnes, Sarr, Mahrez
    Salah, Antonio, Ings

    1. Limbo
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Wonder what that team would cost in FPL?

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        84m so would be 2.5m over budget with a fodder bench.

    2. Fish up a tree
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      You could upgrade Barnes to De Bruyne.

      Yeah I’m in it but not doing as well as you!

      Is the block D method to pick the defence from the same team with good early fixtures. Anything else involved in this method given you can enter 10 teams.

      Cheers

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Yes pick defensive players from the same team for as long as they have good fixtures. Many go all in with 4 or even five defenders from that team but mids and forwards have a higher ceiling so I just go with the 3 defenders plus keeper. My Chelsea D teams going well too, the trick is getting off that D at the right time. That's when Pool and Chelsea in GW3 play each other for me.

  16. Ligdon
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Why can we not use the RMT tool yet ?

  17. MarkoSD
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Benrahma or ESR?

    1. BERGKOP
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Ben

  18. Nanoelektronicar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Surprised to see landslide for Salah, although it's still early. Early kick-off, stubborn Burnley and Salah's poor record against them puts me off slightly. Bruno playing second striker vs shaky Southampton is very tempting.

    1. Rassi
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Why should early kick-off matter?

      1. Rover
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Superstition I guess

      2. Nanoelektronicar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Players don't like early kick-offs because it breaks the routine and patterns. Too early for a match. Sure, United obliterated Leeds in the early kick-off and if the best captaincy option is in the early kick off it won't put me off, but when it's tight I would give it a little bit into consideration.

        1. Rassi
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 20 days ago

          Last season almost all matches started at different times so one might think they have adapted.

        2. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 20 days ago

          This makes no sense! Players don't like early kick offs?

          1. Nanoelektronicar
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 20 days ago

            Sure it matters more when mid week games kick in, but my thinking is they don't like it.

              Did you watch Man U Leeds?

                Leeds were not ready to put up a performance beacue it was early kick off 🙂

      3. Bobby Digital
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        It's a jinx

      4. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        I think a lot of people here just like not having their captaincy gone after the first game of the week, which I can get a bit. But if you think that player will get the most points then it really shouldn't be a factor

      5 years, 20 days ago

      Did early kick-off affect United v Leeds?

      That said, Bruno will never not be a good option. I might go for him too.

      1. Nanoelektronicar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Maybe Leeds were not up to speed because it was early kick off 🙂

    3. joey
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Maybe most don't care about it being an early kick off because it's clearly nonsense, realise Burnley being stubborn is just a stereotype from years gone by (conceded twice to Brighton at the weekend and conceded more than relegated Fulham and a Leeds team who are widely regarded as being very open) and think a previous record isn't the be all and end all? I don't particularly care how he got on at Turf Moor in 2018, I'm more interested in how he does in front of a full Anfield on the back of a brilliant performance at the weekend.

      1. Rassi
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        I agree.

      2. Nanoelektronicar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        It is same brilliant Salah and his record vs Burnley is not that great, I think he's not that suited playing against that kind of opposition. Not saying Salah is a trap this week, you listed the obvious reasons why should he be a captain, it's just I think it closer between Salah and Bruno this week than the poll suggests.

      3. Salan
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Spot on. Not surprised Salah gets a HT in Anfield vs Burnley.

      Back in January he said: “I like night games, Saturday night is in general a night people don’t go to bed too early, it’s a good time to play football.

      “Much better than at 12 — I’m hungry at 12, not at 7:45!”

    Not 100% on Salah cap. Hate playing Burnley at home. They are so low block it drives me insane. Think we’ve scored a total of 1 goal in the last 2 home games. Hopefully the fans go completely buck wild for 90 minutes and suck the ball in.

    1. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Galop away.

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Think the fans being back at Anfield will make a big difference as you mention. Can't really argue with going for Bruno either....both great options

  20. Zimo

    Charlie Taylor is Salah's true nemesis. No attacking returns while he's played Burnleys LB 😛

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I dont want to make early transfers but Benrahma just looked class. So seriously considering Barnes to Benny and bank the 1m to find Son/Lukaku in a couple of weeks.

    Silly?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      No not silly.

      1. Horlicks esq.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years

        Do it you think bro?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          I certainly would.

    2. Bobby Digital

      Trying to hold my knee from jerking Raph to Benrahma

    3. Alexis Nonsense
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      I'm considering the same, but I'll wait until deadline, injuries, covid etc.

      If he goes up 0.1 I'm fine with banking 0.9

      Might wait until after gw2 as well, as Leicester is a better team with a class manager so I feel he's a 2-pointer in that game

    4. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Good move, Benny looks like one of the early season fpl bargains. I'm glad I started with him

    5. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Not silly

    6. Horlicks esq.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Cheers all. Its Leicester vs West Ham really. Perhaps I might wait as its a sideways move and both could actually get 2 points thinking out loud. hmmm

      1. Rassi
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Yes. Hold.

        1. Invincibles
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 20 days ago

          I can see a Raph assist and Benrahma blank in gw2

      2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        If it helps, results in last 3 seasons between Leicester and West Ham (going backwards from latest match):

        WH 3-2
        WH 3-0
        LEI 2-1
        LEI 4-1
        Draw 2-2
        Draw 1-1

        Bring on the goals!

    7. Invincibles
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Considering Raph > Ben purely because I think he'll outscore him in next 3.

    8. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Not silly at all but don't underestimate the flexibility of having 2FTs.

    9. _Gunner
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Thinking Gundogan > Benrahma to afford Antonio > Lukaku later

  22. Kane Train
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Which would you rather ? One of these allows me to get Son in for Greenwood.

    A) Ings > Toney
    B) Digne > Livramento or Hoever

    1. Invincibles
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      I'd keep Ings and Greenwood for this week, would not want to lose either.

    2. Invincibles
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      In any case B is better.

    3. Horlicks esq.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Tough. Ings is on pens and Villa have 2 more plum fixtures, which is why he is in your team from the start. Dont forget the plan you made.

      Digne fixtures also look really good, however Everton are a worry. But not enough to move onto someone else just yet. Greenwood for free this week, as he'll probably be out for Cavani in 2/3 weeks.

      Toney also looked spirited, but Ings is your man. Greenwood in for free is decent. The rest nah.

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Think Ings was only on that pen as El Ghazi was subbed off by then, he might not be on them if he's there

        1. Zimo
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 20 days ago

          Yah but he won't be there a lot

    4. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Depends how strong a bench you have but B out of those. Don't think I'd be in a rush to lose Greenwood

    5. Fish up a tree
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      I would keep Greenwood tbh

      Ings has 2 nice fixtures next so I would go Digne to Livramento but ideally not play him!
      Don’t think Hoever is nailed as Semedo will be back next game I believe.

      1. Horlicks esq.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Semedo got pinged on the app. Should be back inside 9 days.

    6. I Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Wouldn't do any of those moves.

    7. Amartey Partey
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Don’t sell Ings this week. He’s going to smash Newcastle defence.

  23. Totti
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 20 days ago

    what to do with jota?

    A) keep
    B) sell to benrahma or other one

    front 7
    salah bruno greenwood jota
    antonio ings

    1. Totti
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      front 6*

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      No nerd to sell this week even if jota doesn't start he usually gets goals off the bench. Re-asses in gw3 with 2FT's

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Keep

    4. Fish up a tree
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Sell & get on that Ben bandwagon

    5. I Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      A

  24. Bobby Digital
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Leno from GW4 --> looks juicy, or am I silly even thinking of a Arsenal defender?

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Lol he was terrible against Brentford and Arsenal are trying to sign a replacement.

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        They must be kicking themselves for selling Emi

    2. Fish up a tree
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Arsenal were after Ramsdale who would come in as no.1 for the money being banded about.

      Not a settled defence. No decent right back, White bedding in & Gabriel not fit.

      By GW4 Norwich things may look a lot different tho so not a numpty shout at all!

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Tierney could be gold if they get their act together. So many crosses each game he will hoover the BPS any time they keep a clean sheet.

  25. COYS78
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Roll the transfer for a week - Benrahma not ideal fixture with Leicester. But moving to him in a week I like - good fixtures, and you get some budget back to play with in other areas.

    1. Totti
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      seems that this was for me 🙂
      or another person?

  26. Dogs Of War
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 20 days ago

    People are asking about Salah’s record against Burnley, but how about Bruno’s against Southampton. Anyone know?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Bruno scored one and assisted two in their last meetinf

      1. Zimo
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        And arguably Southampton are worse off now

        1. I Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 20 days ago

          Ings, Bertrand and Vestergaard gone. Don't think it's arguable.

          1. Zimo
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 20 days ago

            I didn't wanna be rude

        2. Limbo
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 20 days ago

          Don't think anyone could argue they're better. Ings/Vestegaard are big gaps to fill.

    2. Invincibles
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      2 goals, 2 assists last season

      1. Zimo
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        3 assists for fantasy cuz cavani scored from a Bruno deflected shot

    3. Zimo
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      2 goals 4 assists in 3 matches

    4. Fish up a tree
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Not much in it & dont think it matters who you pick they will both likely haul again! I am just swaying to Bruno given Southampton’s defence is shite!

      1. Nanoelektronicar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        That's why I am surprised with poll results. I think it's a close call Salah v Bruno this week. Especially with Bruno playing so high up.

  27. RN
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 20 days ago

    2G 3A in three games against Southampton

    1. Zimo
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      And 1 more fantasy assist

  28. The Naga Khan

    Does Jota start against Burnley or is Firmino going to displace him?

    1. I Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Jota gets another start would be my guess. Firmino displaces him against Chelsea.

    2. Fish up a tree
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Nobody knows but that’s what everyone knew when they picked Jota. Perhaps both could play however. Home to Burnley who will just sit deep offering no real threat…

    3. ZimZalabim
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      really tough to say, could be roles revered bobby gets 60 and jota comes on for 30 but who knows

  29. hannibalos
    • 17 Years
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Toney + Salah out
    Lukaku + Jota in (-4)

    Insanity or do you find some logic?

    1. ZimZalabim
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Insanity

    2. Harry the Hack
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      I think the burden of proof dictates you find the logic in that and explain it to us?

      1. hannibalos
        • 17 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Look. Salah is a 230-300 points man.
        Jota if he gets minutes is potentially a 130-150 points man.

        Toney played deep and I don't expect many goals to be honest if he keeps playing in that position.
        Lukaku I guess is a 180-200 points man.

        It is all up to Salah to be honest and if he scores 230 or 300 points this season. And also depends on what minutes will Jota get overall.

        Now it looks like a bad move but I really don't know. It depends

        1. Harry the Hack
          • 17 Years
          5 years, 20 days ago

          Absolutely not for -4. Starting with Toney you have to hold him for at least gw2 against CP. At minimum sit a week and get better intel. One week is not a trend line.

    3. InterUranus
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Insanity.

    4. Limbo
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Lukaku won't score as many points this season. So it's then a question of PPM. There's 1m between them. Personally I think I'd have to ditch TAA over Salah as the makeweight.

      1. Limbo
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        * I won't be

    5. Amartey Partey
      • 7 Years

      !!!!!!!! Don’t do it

    6. Fish up a tree

      Madness of the highest order. Take a breather from FPL mare

      1. hannibalos

        Hehe. Nothing concrete yet of course. just thoughts.

    Will Livramentoes keep his place?

    1. Third Eye Vision
      • 14 Years

      I was at the game on Saturday and only two Southampton players really stood out to me - Livra and Armstrong.

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Thanks! Did he play the full 90?
